It's hard to think 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick envisioned himself as the focus on Super Bowl Media Day halfway through San Francisco's season. But there he was, and here are the highlights of his media session.

On his faith: “It’s played a huge role. My faith is something that I lean on every day just to make sure I’m doing the right thing.”

On whether he reads different Bible verses before every game: “I always pray before every game, just thanking the Lord that he woke me up this morning and gave me this opportunity to step on the field.”

On Coach Harbaugh: “He’s been great. He led his team to the Super Bowl. You can’t say enough about him.”

On what makes the read-option so effective: “It makes it 11-on-11 football. You’re actually blocking the defender by reading him.”

On how he stays so calm: “For me, it’s just staying focused on what we’re trying to get done. It’s great to have all these cameras and people here, but we’re here to win a game.”

On Alex Smith: “Alex (Smith) has been great. He has done everything he can to help me and help this team. To have a veteran quarterback like that on your side, making sure you’re seeing the field well, is always great.”

On some players that have inspired him: “Growing up, Reggie White was someone I always watched, being a Packers fan. Just the way he played the game and handled himself. He was phenomenal.”

On how he is handling his new popularity: “Three months ago I could go anywhere, now it’s a little bit harder.”On the team’s preparation for the Super Bowl: “Our team is very confident. We put in a lot of hard work. We want to make sure we’re ready for it.”
